Porta-Trace 10" x 12" Stainless Steel Lightbox with Two 8 watt, 5000°K. Lamps.

My fifteen year old budding artist loves this light box. She has really been able to develop her skills by practicing the styles of her favorite artists, and she has been able to duplicate her own art work with better accuracy for animation. She especially likes being able to use the light box either on her lap, a flat surface or tilted with the stand. It's bright enough to shine through magazine and heavy papers, and was a great deal for the price!

You cannot beat the price on this one.
Lights up evenly,does not overheat. Portable.
The light is very bright you can actually see through some heavier papers.
I even recieved my order in a few days. A lot faster than expected.

If you want this size, buy this one - and from this seller. It has two color-corrected lamps. Bright enough to light up my work, and light up the rest of my office as well! I compared them all, and this seller gives you the most for your money.

Be aware that there are larger sizes from Gagne (Porta-Trace), if that's what you need, and you can pay several times the price for the big ones.

For home use, however, you can't beat this one.

solidly built artist's tool. Made in the USA.

This thing can shine through thick stock postcards, works excellent. Doesnt overheat. Lights up all parts evenly, portable and takes very little space on your table. Great price too.
